The next time you see the royal family in a newspaper or a magazine, don’t just check out everyone’s outfits – take a minute to reflect on the British monarchy. One of the few constitutional monarchies in the world (i.e. where the king or queen does not have the right to chop off peoples’ heads at a moment’s notice), the British Royal family is active and engaged with the country.
